Tips:

  • Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it well to prevent the cookies from sticking.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into even slices. This will help the cookies bake evenly.
  • If your dough is too sticky to slice, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before cutting.
  • Bake the cookies at a temperature of 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them to make sure they don't overbake.
  • Once the cookies are golden brown and set around the edges, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
